One-on-one with Junie

Junie Browning is the Chris Leben of this season of "The Ultimate Fighter." He's a friggin' nut, and that's why many of the episodes have been centered around him, his shenanigans and his drunken stupidity. I spoke with TUF's newest lightning rod for a story coming out tomorrow, and I remain in one piece.

Browning gets his chance to back up his smack in tonight's episode when coach Frank Mir pits him against Rolando Delgado. What you've seen to this point hasn't been trick production. Browning pretty much admitted he is who you've seen, but also a bit misunderstood.

Those following TUF may think there's no hope for Browning, but Leben turned his life around and lost this past Saturday only because Michael Bispbig is at another level. Browning was honest, saying that being trapped inside a house in Las Vegas and not being able to go anywhere except the gym drove him further insane. Even should he lose tonight, losers have been brought back on the show in the past. One such fighter was Leben.
